This element of Severance Compensation shall be payable in equal installments on the normal pay dates following Executive’s separation from service with the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (such Section and regulations are sometimes referred to in this Agreement as “[Section 409A]”).

Cash and COBRA Severance. The aggregate amount of the Cash and COBRA Severance (as defined in the Offer Letter) will be equal to Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($900,000), plus an amount equal to the cash bonus Employee otherwise would have received under [[Organization A:Organization]]’s fiscal year 2021 bonus plan in which Employee participated as of the Termination Date, based on # Employee’s target bonus opportunity of $865,000 for [[Organization A:Organization]]’s fiscal year 2021, and # actual performance for [[Organization A:Organization]]’s fiscal year 2021 compared to the applicable performance metrics set forth under such plan, but with such resulting amount prorated to reflect the portion of [[Organization A:Organization]]’s 2021 fiscal year during which Employee was an employee of the Company.

Payment of Cash Severance Benefits. The Severance Benefits described in Sections 4.1(a) to which a Participant is entitled shall be paid to the Participant according to the following payment schedule:

Amount and Payment of Cash Severance. The Corporation will make a cash payment (the “Cash Payment”) to Executive in an amount equal to the sum of # two times Executive’s Average Compensation and # Executive’s target annual bonus, if any, for the year in which employment terminates (with such calculations to be made as though the target level has been achieved for each performance goal), prorated by multiplying Executive’s target annual bonus by the number of days in the year completed through the date of Executive’s termination of employment divided by 365. The Cash Payment shall be paid to Executive in a single lump sum within sixty days after termination of employment; provided, however, that if the sixty day period overlaps two calendar years that the payment will be made in the later calendar year. If Executive dies after becoming entitled to the Cash Payment but before it has been paid, the Cash Payment will be made to Executive’s designated beneficiary (or Executive’s estate if Executive fails to designate a beneficiary).

Severance will be paid in accordance with normal and customary payroll practices of the Employer. The aggregate severance will be equal to the Employee's then current, annual base compensation.
